Why do post classic bikes not need to be homologated?
And whoever said that they could run a 1990 Gixxer to get teh 5.5inch rear wheel, you are allowed to put whatever wheels ya want on the bike in the name of safety I think you'll find.

You don't need any proof about anything to do with sales, you only have to prove it was manufactured before the end of December 1989, it doesn't have to have been sold before then
Pre89 wheel rules
25.5.2 Wheels
Front wheel shall have a maximum width of 3.5” and minimum diameter of 16”.
Rear wheel shall have a maximum width of 5.5” and minimum diameter of 16”.
Wheels can be cast or spoke type.
Magnesium wheels are permitted. Carbon fibre wheels are banned.
Sorry Mr Williams to hijack your thread but I can't let this go unchallenged....I see no provision in the rules for MNZ to ask any club for an opinion on eligibility. Any question would have to arise from a protest for which there are procedures laid down. And as it is stated in the rules frequently - the onus of proof is on the competitor. If a standard protest committee can't reach an agreement and it goes to appeal surely three stewards can sort a matter of proof. I can't see either where a letter from NZPCRA carries any weight as proof of eligibility....
I'd love to hear from Mr Smith where he got the idea from that NZPCRA are so different from any other club in NZ in that they are able to certify a bikes date of manufacture.
Yes he did,But he didnt own that bike until around 1991,So therefore although the machine was an H1,It was not ram aired until after 1990,Does that still mean its legal???
That was Russell Josiahs racebike from the 89-90 series and in fact is now the Steadman 750 triple
No worries raising this matter at all, theres far too many "ducks and drakes" about these sort of things aye - and the protest rules applies to all of our various forms of road-race classes. The more information and clarity that we can get out to the general publics/competitors then the less confusion!
The MNZ laid out rules for protest make it very clear how it should all be done (if required). Its a process that provide rights (and penalties) to both parties. + its also a process that i have faith in, as the person protesting needs to have a pretty solid footing to get the process / wheels in motion. (I.E - a page from a google search aint gonna cut it......)
Interestingly we had to clarify a ruling for a competitor just last night regarding post classic,It was a similar situation to one I ve been on the otherside of in the past that was at the time handled badly by the NZPCRA.Have no fear that now MNZ are presiding over the rulings for the class,Personalities will not enter into the process as has done in the past.
Sorry Glen, but he requested a reply.
OK. The NZPCRA do not certify bike, I never suggested that.
The idea of contacting them is simply to try and prevent bitch fights at race meetings.
An unbiased letter/ email from the NZPCRA technical comittee can help prevent arguement and protests, thats all.
There have been false documents presented in the past at race meetings to allow bikes to compete in post classics that were clearly outside the rules. But because the rider had false proof and the race club were not experts on 20 year old bikes he was allowed to compete in that class, it took months to get that issue sorted.
I race in this class because it is fun, these guy's are bike enthuiasts like myself and it is nice to turn up at a meeting and have some races, chat to the guy's and go home happy.
As a previous comittee member, it is a pain in the butt spending a race day dealing with complaints and protests, when I need to focus on racing and the officials are trying to run a race meeting.
Contacting the NZPCRA was only a suggestion. My Bad, won't do it again, my applogies for trying to help.
Glen, I look forward to racing against a Bimota.

No worries Pete, i can see that there is plenty of knowledge to tap into at the NZPCRA - so if its there then yes why not use it - I fully agree.
On another note , I am so far behind in my prep this year due to work that it makes me wonder why i started.......But then again plenty of work means that there is $ in my pocket and the toys in the shed benefit long term!
